Each week people gather to create a quilt which is raffled off at the end of the year to raise money for the residents of The Episcopal Home. The members of this ministry also make other creative projects they sell at their annual Pumpkin Patch. No quilting experience needed, just an enjoyment of the company of others!

The backbone of worship in the Episcopal Church is the Daily Office, a collection of prayers offered throughout the day, beginning with Morning Prayer, a quiet, sacred service that can be done individually (for there is always someone else praying with you) or together in a group.

This is an opportunity for us to reach out into the community and be the hands and feet of Christ to serve a meal to our friends and guests from the community. We serve a home-cooked warm meal twice a month as part of the ecumenical church group program to feed the hungry in our neighborhoods.
